 This is Pongo, with his antlers (like Max from The Grinch) and socks, obviously. It doesn't show well in the picture, but he is lying with his head on a pillow, ready to go to sleep. Christina sleeps with him every night, and it is Pongo that I wake in the morning and tell him to wake up Chrissy & tell her to get ready for school.

Flash lighting has left you with some harsh shadows. Busy background and elaborate border overcomplicate the main subject

print on print? a plain background would have helped IMO

Nice concept but the background clashes with the subject and the lighting is harsh. A diffused and / or bounced flash would help the lighting.

LOL yes socks are important. All Dalmatians dressed as reindeer need socks and mismatched ones are always better. The other nice thing is that this toy looks very loved.

The background being so in focus really distracts my eyes from the subject. A shallower depth of field would have worked better, in my opinion. Cute, though. :)

Way too busy for my liking. My eye is drawn all over the plce on this layout. Overall a nice concept, with nice focus, nice lighting.

Interesting stuffed animal but the lighting is flat, background is a bit distracting and I don't get any sense of depth.

Not enough contrast between background & subject.

This is taken with an on camera flash I think. Placing the subject nearer some natural light would have softened the harsh shadow
